i don't think that would come as a surprise to the obama folks. but they know that they have a fierce contender in terms of somebody who will take it to the president and really bring the attacks aggressively. on the other hand, they do think they have a message to hit back with and that's what they did right out of the gate. campaign manager jim mussina released a statement attacking the ryan budget which you know he released and has been very public about saying it's a new budget but tax cuts for the wealthy are what it is filled with adding greater burdens on the middle class and seniors. they described ryan as the architect of the radical republican house budget. so you are going to hear from the obama team the word "ryan" inside the phrase romney/ryan budget a whole lot between now and november. >> talk about the youtube video already targeting romney/ryan, the ticket. >> one of the things we keep hearing is democrats are going to pounce on ryan because he's proposed medicare changes that upset seniors, could upset seniors. this new video fro
